Have you ever wanted to see a photo of yours in QST, the annual ARRL Amateur Radio Calendar or another ARRL publication? Well, here’s your chance! If you’re among the winners, not only will your photographic skill be propagated far and wide, but we’re offering $100 as the First Prize. The winning photo and three runners-up will be published in QST. All submitted photos will also be considered for the 2013 ARRL Calendar. For this purpose, landscape format is preferred.

Deadline: Photos must be received at ARRL HQ by May 31, 2012.

Subject: Must be directly related to Amateur Radio, and be in good taste. Extra points will be awarded for photos showing a unique or enjoyable club activity. Photos will be judged on overall quality and composition.

Requirements: Digital images or color prints accepted. A digital image printed on photo paper, however, doesn’t work as well as a high-resolution file attachment. Digital images should be high resolution. A digital image up to 8 MB in size can be e-mailed to upfront@arrl.org, subject line “2012 Photo Contest.” An image may also be burned to a CD and mailed to ARRL Photo Contest, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111. All entries must include caption information describing where the photo was taken, along with a description of the subject of the photo, as well as the names and call signs of any persons shown. If you entered last year’s contest, please do not resend the same photo for this year’s contest. One entry per person.

Miscellaneous: The decisions of the judges -- composed of QST editorial and production staff -- are final.
